A question I am often asked by family law clients is:

“If I am successful, will my former partner have to pay my legal costs?”

In family law proceedings, the usual starting point is that each party pays their own legal costs. However, the Court may make a costs order in appropriate circumstances, including after considering the parties’ financial positions, their conduct during the proceedings and any settlement offers made.

This differs from many other types of civil litigation, where the general principle is that costs follow the event.

Ferraro & Singh Lawyers has recently published an informative article explaining how legal costs may be recovered, why a successful outcome does not necessarily mean recovering your entire legal bill, and the importance of understanding the financial risks before commencing or defending proceedings.

Early legal advice can help you understand the likely costs, risks and potential outcomes in your particular circumstances.

Thinking about separation?

The 2026 Federal Budget has introduced changes that may affect property settlements, investment properties, family businesses, trusts and your future financial security after separation.

Many people don’t realise that when dividing assets, it’s not just about what something is worth today. Tax consequences, borrowing capacity and future liabilities can all impact the outcome.

If you own:
• an investment property
• a family business
• a discretionary trust
• shares or other investments

Happy Vaisakhi to our clients, colleagues and community. 🙏🏽

This time of year represents new beginnings, resilience and moving forward. These are the values that strongly resonate with the work we do every day.

Many of the people we assist come to us during pivotal moments in their lives, whether it be:
• navigating a separation
• resolving complex legal matters
• or working toward stability and growth for themselves and their families

Within our community, these matters often extend beyond the individual; they impact families, businesses and future generations.

Our role is not only to guide clients through difficult circumstances, but also to position them for what comes next, whether that is rebuilding, protecting what they have created, or continuing to grow their business and personal success.

We remain committed to supporting our community with practical advice, care and a long-term perspective.

If you or someone you know needs guidance, I am always available for a confidential discussion.
